application filed April 2s. 1902.

To aZZ whom it may con/cern,.-

Beit known that' I, ROBERT N'. B ARGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hopedale, in the county of Tazewell and State of Illinois,haveinvented certain new and useand I do hereby declare the following tobea the art to which it appertains tomake and use the'same. .l

My inventionrelates to certain new and useful improvements'i'n pipes orsmokingtubes; and it has for its objects to provide a receptacle and avtobacco cartridge having such relation to each other as to be readilybrought togetherin operative condition and so that the burned tobaccoshall not unduly heat the receptacle or pipe, and so that thelatterAwill retain and prevent the fall of the ashes resulting from theburning of the tobacco.

Wit-h these vends and objects-inv lview my invention consists of atubular receptacle closed at one end and provided with a removablemouthpiece at the opposite end and a the closed end of `lthe receptacleand the terior of the receptacle, the receptacle ,being provided withair-ducts adjacent to the mouthpiece, as will be hereinafter and indetail described. l

In order' that those skilled in the art -to which my inventionappertains may know how to make and use the same, I will proceed todescribe-its construction and the manner in which it is used, referringby letters to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1y is a planView of my improved pipe or smoking-tu be made in illustration oftudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a trans- Fig. 4 is a perspectiveview of the tobacco cartridge; and Fig. 5 is a similar view of amodified form of the cartridge. shown at Fig. 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several gures ofthe drawings.'

A representsa receptacle, preferably in the made of Wood or any'otherdesirable `or suitable material. This receptacle is formed with sen-aino. 104.287. (No model.)

a closed end B andv with a longitudinal cavity4 C for'thereception of atobacco cartridge or shell D. The end ol, the receptacleA-opporeceive amouthpiece F, -which is correspondingly threaded. Adjacent to themouthpiece F the receptacle is provided with a suitable number of radialducts G, through which air is admitted to the interior of thereceptacle. The cartridge or shell D is made of clay or other suitablematerial and is preferably of vcylindrical form andopen at both ends,and

when lled or loaded with tobacco the ends are temporarily closed bypaper or other bands H. This shell 0r cartridge is of less diameter thanthe longitudinal cavity'O of the receptacle A in order that acircumferential airspace may exist'between the cartridge or shell D andthe receptacle, and the length of the cartridge or shell is such thatwhen the mouthpiece F is in place one end of the shell shall be in contact with the iuner end of said mouthpiece and the opposite end incontact with the closed end of? the receptacle A, and the outer end ofsaid shell is formed with lateral channels I, com municating with theair-space between the shell and the receptacle, as clearly indicated atFig. 2. .The shellDmay,

if desired, be formed with longitudinal cor-4 rugations, as shown atFig. 5, in order to increase the air-space between the same and thereceptacle.

While I have shown the open end lof thetub'e or receptacle A providedwith a screwthreaded-ring or col-lar E, adapted to receive thescrew-threaded end of the mouthpiece F,

-it will be understood' that the said mouthwith 'tobacco or any othermaterial which it is desired to smoke, is placed within the cavity C ofthe receptacle after the contents of the shell have been ignited at theouter end.' The mouthpiece F is then connected -with the open end of thereceptacle in such manner as to make a substantially air-tightconnection with the end of the shell and to cause the op- IOO posite endto contact with the closed end of the receptacle, as clearly shown. Inthis condition when air is exhausted through the mouthpiece the externaloxygen surrounding the receptacle A is drawn in through the radial ductsG and travels toward the closed end o f said receptacle to producecombustion of the tobacco and at the same time to prevent the heating ofthe receptacle, and iu an obvious manner the smoke resulting fromcombustion is drawn into the mouth of the smoker.

It will be understood that I do not Wish to be limited to any specialdesign or proportion of the smoking tube or receptacle A or to thematerial of which it may be Vmade, nor do I wish to be limited to anyparticular manner of connecting said tube or receptacle with themouthpiece. ned to theexact design or material of the shell or cartridgeDso lons: as the relation between the receptacle, the shell, and themouthpiece is such that the external oxygen is caused to travel betweenthe shell and receptacle to keep the latter cool and to assist thecombustion of the contents of the shell or cartridge.

What I claim as new,4and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Neither do I wish to be con- 1. In combination with the receptacle A,formed with a longitudinal cavity and one closedend and with a removablemouthpiece and radial air-ducts adjacent to said mouth? piece, a shellor cartridge confined between the closed end of the receptacle and themouthpiece and with lateral channels at the outer end communicating withthe air-space between said shell and the receptacle, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

2. The receptacle A provided with a longitudinal cavity adapted toreceive a tobaccocontaining shell or cartridge, said receptacle beingclosed at its outer end and formed with radial air-ducts near itsopposite end adapted to receive a removable mouthpiece, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination with the receptacle A, and mouthpiece F, constructedand connected as described the shell D, formed with .longitudinalcorrugations and lateral channels I, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature 4in presence of two witnesses.

ROBERT N. RARGER.
